Share Your Sentiment Gameplay

So this is what happens when you force your kid to do homework :joy:

I am so grateful for the sentiment system, this is the direction the game should go! But one thing worries me a bit. My favorite Sims couple were married before the update. They went on two golden dates, they flirt all the time, wohoo and so on and only the wife has "Deeply in Love" ... The guy only has "Smitten". I know it's stupid, but I have a bad game when I know that my perfect marriage is not "perfect" anymore. Maybe someone will advise what to do? :(

Ugh, as I feared, I am already growing to hate sentiments. My couple who had full romance and friendship bars were talking to an old friend of the family. All three of them have never once done anything evil. The game decided that the wife got angry at the husband for "flirting" and now has a long-lasting grudge sentiment. He has never actually flirted with anyone other than his wife, and he's not even that flirty with her. I really hope we get some cheats soon to turn off sentiments, or I may need to stop playing for a while.

Wasn't he flirty in that moment then? As far as I know the game never actually gives that mood (and I assume sentiment) unless the sim actually flirts, which can happen by accident and is pretty annoying sometimes when it does. But this was even a thing before sentiments :/

Nope, his mood was Fine.

Hm :( And the other sim he was talking to, also not?

Make them renew wedding vows. :) my sims both became “deeply in love” after it.

The 'Free love' NAP sometimes makes sims flirt autonomously, that could be a source of problems.

Thank you, I have never experienced this interaction. My other Sim got engaged and they both got Deeply in Love. It is a pity that you need such tricks if the marriage has a full pink love bar. :(

And it shows that this game is underdeveloped. A very good idea with sentiments, but if the player has no control over the Sims (they can flirt on their own and we don't know why) or the "free love plan" works, the game gets messy. It's great that we finally have the consequences of cheating, but we should be able to better control our Sims right away. If the devs gave us an attraction system and set up the game so that autonomous flirting would be possible if the other Sim is extremely attractive (like in a certain mod), it would make more sense. Now it's probably the randomly, uncontrolled reflexes of a silly computer bot.

It's obvious that sims' emotions and moods are much bolder after sentiments. I like it, as long as it coordinates with their personality.

I wish that a mom would not communicate in that flirty tone with her 8 years old son though. Not sure if she got the flirty moodlet from watching tv or from flirting with her also flirty mood hubby. Family life never was weirder...

One of my sims couples have many romance ones - deeply in love, enamored, deep connection. All it took was one trip to a bar to ruin it - a random sim must have flirted with the wife so now the husband has a bad sentiment toward her because he thinks she cheated. Neither one of them were flirty at the bar and I did not actually see what happened, but he suddenly got angry and got the cheated on sentiment. I do wish it would only happen if the the accused sim did the flirting and not was just flirted with by some random sim in a bar. All in all - it is likely no big deal since these fade away - like in Sims 2 when a sim felt rage at another sim - just best to keep then apart until it fades (though admittedly a bit hard to do when they live in the same house!).
